Career counseling assists people in finding the right career path for them. It includes discovering skills, honing in on specific interests and aptitudes, and researching meaningful ways for people to do the work that suits them best. If someone questions their career or work choices, a career counselor will administer tests, including inventories about personality, skills, and strengths. The therapist will then educate the client about career fields, industries, or companies that have jobs that align. They can then work with the person to develop specific skills for that job, such as effective communication, interpersonal skills, and time management.

Many of my patients have been helped to heal from anxiety and troubling experiences through EMDR. Others value that I studied Christian counseling in seminary, and that I taught pastoral counseling. Still others find it helpful that I focused on young adult development during my psychology internship at Princeton University Counseling Center. Sometimes a first step in healing is learning to kno...
My goal is to provide you with a safe place to work through and eventually overcome the difficulties, large or small, you are currently experiencing. You will never hear me say "I know exactly how you feel," or many other 'classic' therapists' lines. The fact is, anyone who tells you this is not being totally honest. However, this realization is what leads to what I believe is one of the most...
